I have no words for Memory Machine Films. From looking at their prior work, we knew we had to book them, but we had no idea how blown away we would be. From the first call we had with Amber & Brian it was amazing. They were so kind, detail oriented, and it felt like we had been friends forever. On our wedding day, it felt like they were guests of ours. They are the sweetest, kindest, most professional people. They clicked perfectly with our other vendors, and made our time during photos/videos so fun!! Then don’t even get me started on the final product. My husband and I waited patiently for our video, and once we got it, OH MAN! It was the most perfectly curated video. I didn’t even know it was possible to be better than I anticipated, but it was. I am SO thankful for Brian and Amber because this video will be cherished for years to come. We’ve watched it over 1000 times and it still brings back the same feelings we felt on our special day! Thank you Memory Machine Films. You both are truly amazing!!!!!!!!!

Amber and Brian were so great to work with for our wedding! They were both super friendly and easy to work with, especially with helping us feel comfortable and natural in front of a video camera. They were not intrusive at all and allowed us to have our emotional moments when needed, but also stepped in and gave great suggestions and advice: they helped us practice and nail our dip in a way that looked so good!! They were so thorough in the lead up to the wedding with their planning forms and detailed calls, and we are so excited to see their final product of our day. We cannot recommend them enough!

Amber and Brian were one of our favorite vendors of our wedding! We knew we wanted to work with them right away once seeing their amazing work! Working with them was seamless from beginning to end. They were both incredibly professional, talented, and prompt, and we could tell they were so passionate about their craft (and capturing weddings specifically).
They captured our day perfectly, and we continue to watch both our highlight video and ceremony over and over! The content was the perfect amount of everything and helped tell our story so thoughtfully.
On an incredibly busy day, Amber and Brian felt like family to us the entire time. They made us, our wedding party, and guests feel so comfortable and blended in very seamlessly (you barely could tell they were there capturing every moment). Their thoughtfulness and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure we had the best time did not go unnoticed (and all of our vendors loved working with them as well).
Do not hesitate to book them for your wedding. You won’t regret it. Thank you both again! We are so grateful for your time, kindness and expertise and can’t wait to have these memories forever!

My hubs and I want to express our heartfelt thanks to Amber & Brian for capturing our special day!! These two are the sweetest and went above and beyond. Literally! We had so much fun running around with them. They are truly masters of their craft, so many great shot ideas, drone capabilities, they didn’t miss a beat and we cannot wait to see the final video! We were running a bit behind schedule at one point and not once did they make us feel rushed or pressured ever! I want to especially thank Amber for everything she did to help me on the wedding day, from getting my dress on, to quite literally dusting the sand off of my feet before heading back to the reception from the beach, she was so kind and felt like family! 10/10 stars, HIRE THEM!!

Amber and Brian are an amazing team! My husband Ryan and I were just married in April and had the good fortune of having Amber and Brian capture our big day by video. They were so wonderful to work with and spend our day with. They worked seamlessly with the rest of our vendors and everything ran so efficiently and seemingly effortlessly (thought I know it was not effortless on their end!). We are so grateful to have such a special day captured by video so that we can have these memories forever and are so glad we chose memory machine films!

The easiest YES you will say other than the day you got engaged. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing duo. Amber arrived during a stressful time as I was scrambling to get ready, but she instantly lifted the spirits with everyone in the room. She took charge and helped lead the entire day. Honestly, she felt more like what my wedding planner was hired to do. She spoke up when things needed to move along and kept things flowing in the appropriate timeline. She even drove me to my wedding venue from my hotel, I mean this is the level of customer service we’re talking about here. She felt like an instant friend and made me feel so at ease during one of the most stressful times. Shortly after, I met Brian the other half to her team/her lovely husband. You can tell he’s the artist behind the scenes and in a good way we could hardly tell he was there, but also graciously lead us when we were confused on what to do. They were my favorite vendors and I would hire them all over again just so we could hangout with them again! I’m not kidding, they even got down on the dance floor with us and it felt like we were partying with our friends all while them capturing and making the most beautiful memories of us for us. The sneak peak video they gave us was UNREAL and the exact vibe we wanted so we are counting down the days for the full video! Thank you Amber & Brian !!! You are the best!!!!

1000000000/5 stars! These power couple not only produces the best wedding videos they're also incredibly fun to work with!! We've only had our video for a few weeks, and we've already watched it several times!! Amber and Brian are clearly experts at their craft. They make the entire experience so magical, working seamlessly with the rest of the crew we hired to get us ready and document our day! Amber is a dog whisperer, so if you want your dog in your wedding video, let them know! They will make it happen in the most heartwarming way! Brian spent 2 hours talking to us about our vision for the wedding video and trailer. When we initially spoke to him during our consultation, we shared our budget and what we wanted. He did not try to upsell us at all, but the way he spoke about the packages they offered, I knew we needed to find wiggle room in the budget to invest in these memories. Along the way, we added items to our package and had special requests that they graciously accommodated. Amber and Brian are THE choice for wedding videographers, and they are a blast on the dance floor! Trust them with your special day! They will exceed your expectations!!

Amber and Brian were incredible to work with! They are so kind and really help you feel comfortable through the awkward poses and stressed of the big day! Besides the two of them as a people the film they made was incredible! They had so many angles during the ceremony, they mic'd everyone up during the ceremony and reception speeches so the audio was crispy clear, and they captured all of the important moments! The color grade and music selection was perfect too. I don't have anything bad to say about our experience with them.
I'm very picky as a videographer hobbyist and immediately eliminated so many of the suggested wedding videographers in Orange County. I saw Memory Machines pop up and immediately fell in love with their style and cinematography. You won't regret booking them!

My wife, Judy, and I were absolutely convinced we would not be hiring a videographer for our wedding. And then, while looking at different wedding videos for inspiration for our wedding, we came across the work of Amber and Brian at Memory Machine Films. We were stunned by how good their work was. That very night we decided that we would have a wedding videographer if and only if we could get them. Fortunately they were available on our wedding weekend. Our own videos are even more stunning than the ones we loved! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We really wish there were enough words to express how much we LOVE the video content Amber and Brian put together for us! They beautifully captured the essence of our very special day and as soon as we started watching the footage, we felt like we were transported back to the best day of our lives. They were also so professional and intentional throughout the entire process. We really appreciate how they created video magic that perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding day. 1,000,000 out of 10 recommend!!! ⭐️

Amber & Brian are one of the best videographers in SoCal! They were hired for my sister in laws wedding and we were obsessed with their video so we had to hire them! They made the process so easy, and our video is INCREDIBLE! We recently had a good friend pass away and they including him in our video as much as they could, which was very special. You have to hire them for your wedding!!!!

I hired Amber and Brian to film our wedding back in June, 2018 and I could not remember if I had left a review before so, at the risk of doing it twice, I'm writing now to give them my 5 stars! They were so professional during the entirety of the process, and they just have everything under control. I didn't have to worry about a thing during the wedding and the videos they produced are absolutely top notch. You'd think, with all the angles they got, that they were a crew of 10, but they're just two really efficient and experienced people. There's of course a bit of a wait for the videos after the wedding, but I feel like you want that because you know they're putting the time in. The compilation video, in particular, was so well put together and cut beautifully. It's not just about grabbing random clips and sound bites. A really well-made video tells a story and captures the essence of day and Amanda and Brian did that in spades! It's not easy to distill 6 hours down to 10 minutes! Anyways, I can't recommend them enough. 100% go hire them :D

Amber and Brian are a true class act! The were so detailed in preparation for our wedding, even working through our multiple postponements due to Covid. On the day of it felt as if they were part of our best friend group. They are kind, supportive and bring SO much experience to the table. Our film was everything and more than we could have expected. Could not recommend them enough!

This will be long so the short version is: HIRE THE TEAM AT MEMORY MACHINE FILMS FOR YOUR WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY!! My husband and I received our wedding video a week ago and I've watched it EVERY day since then. I've cried each time. I've laughed each time. I've shared it with friends and loved ones. The shared opinion across the board: BEST WEDDING VIDEO EVER! There isn't enough space in these reviews to fully express how impressed we were with their work but, if you're looking for a novel on why you NEED to book this team for your wedding, please read on. :)
Starting long before the wedding, I began speaking with Brian in great detail about the process and how the wedding day would go. We discussed a timeline and how long shooting certain elements would take. We also discussed in detail the elements that were important to us so Brian and Amber could make sure they were captured. Throughout the pre-wedding process, they were completely available to answer any of my questions and calm my nerves.
On the day of the wedding, both Brian and Amber were SO incredibly kind and helpful and really kept my husband and me smiling and laughing through the whole process. It's likely the first time any of us have had cameras following us around for hours! They made it completely natural and even fun! (Also, Amber was like my personal hype-woman all day telling me I was giving Grace Kelly vibes and I'd really just like to hang out with her every day of my life. lol)
Also, I have to talk about their absolute HUSTLE! Every time I turned my head one of them was stealthily sneaking at the speed of light to another spot to get the perfect shot. They must get in like 40,000 steps at a wedding. When they left for the evening, I knew our wedding video was going to be absolutely breathtaking. And let me tell you...
IT WAS! Every second of it is absolutely beautiful. It actually gave me goosebumps. They made sure to capture every single element that I had expressed to them was important to us. The music so perfectly pairs with every detail. Every shot is gorgeous and the editing is stunning. They truly have a gift for this. I can't wait for more of our friends or family to get married so I can recommend Memory Machine Films over and over again. Book them! Now!

We chose Memory Machine Films (Amber and Brian) due to their amazing cinematic style, warm and friendly personalities, and detailed communication. They are passionate about what they do and it's evident in their high-quality work. I STRONGLY recommend that you hire them. You will not regret it! My husband and parents really did not want me to hire a videographer, and guess what... they're so happy that I didn't listen to them! That's how great Amber and Brian are!
Amber and Brian captured beautiful action and detail shots. Moreover, they incorporated audio clips of our vows, loved ones' speeches, and music in such a moving and impactful way. I've received numerous comments from family and friends on how they teared up while watching our highlight video. As for me, I've watched our trailer and highlight videos at least once a day after receiving them.
Amber and Brian were responsive and timely in their communication. Pre-wedding communication was thorough and they asked all the details to ensure they captured our priorities. During the wedding, their presence never felt intrusive. My husband and I aren't used to being the center of attention, let alone being filmed, but they provided us with guidance and prompts. As a result, we looked natural/ at ease in the videos. They were patient, positive, and professional throughout the entire time. Post-wedding, they continued to be responsive and delivered *perfection*.
Thank you again, Amber & Brian! We love our video!

Where do I even begin?! I did a lot of research into the style of video I wanted for our wedding, which is why I ultimately chose Memory Machine Films. I loved their style, but also that the couple's style came through in their videos.
When I was chatting with potential videographers, it was important for me to "click" with them as they were going to be front and center during a very special, intimate, and important day. I loved Amber & Brian off the bat and knew they would be a great fit.
Like many couples, we had to cancel due to Covid. I had very mixed experiences with the different vendors we had booked for our wedding and how they reacted to the situation. Obviously, I had a ton of empathy as their world was turned upside down. Amber & Brian's compassion during the whole ordeal, and willingness to work with me, truly blew me away. They honestly care about the couples they are shooting as individuals.
When the time came to finally have our "make up" wedding, I knew I wanted them to shoot it. I had high expectations after watching so many of their previous videos, and they managed to blow me away! The day of, they made both of us feel very comfortable. My husband normally likes to be behind the camera, not in front of it, so this was a big feat in itself. Their expertise in managing a bunch of personalities in a sometimes stressful, but fun, situation, shown through in the final product.
Since getting the video, I've watched it probably 100 times, laughing and crying (with joy) every time. They were hyper focused on capturing the parts that meant the most to us, and I couldn't have asked for a better memory of a long awaited, perfect. day.

Amber and Brian are the sweetest most warm inviting people! My (now) husband and I had never been filmed prior to our wedding day, and we honestly felt so comfortable. Prior to the wedding, we spent time on the phone with Brian going over details so that way no detail went missed and that honestly made me feel so relaxed going into the wedding day. Don’t even get us started on the final product, truly a CINEMATIC experience. Everyone we have shown our wedding video to has been so impressed and raves. Thank you guys again, we are so so grateful!

If you're looking for a wedding videographer, look no further! Memory Machine Films is the whole package. Brian and Amber are the masterminds behind the company, and they are not only the most personable and down-to-earth people ever, but they know weddings inside and out. They are highly professional and really take the time to get to know you and what you want to prioritize and feature in your film! We communicated to them about how our faith was important to us, and certain moments we really wanted to capture, and they delivered. We could not stop tearing up while watching our highlights film, as we were transported back to the emotional rollercoaster of the day. They truly care about each of their couples and have such a gift. Trust me, you will want them to stay and be a part of your wedding day.

My husband and I kept going back and forth between having a videographer or not; and let me say how important and special it is. After reviewing over 20 different videographers we stumbled upon Memory Machine Films. Their sentimental and romantic video style immediately gravitated us to them. We spent a good amount of time on the phone before hiring them, and a few days before our big day to go over the smallest details that we didn't even think about. Our best friends who got married a few months before us also used Memory Machine Films are their videographers and had a very similar experience. Brian and Amber are a dream couple to work with - flexible, friendly, professional, and caring. They really took the time to create a beautiful collection of moments that we can show our family and future children. We are forever grateful they were a HUGE part of our wedding team.

Absolutely Amazing!
I first hired Amber and Brian because of a previous wedding I saw of theirs and fell in love with the way they made their videos. Amber was so fun and bubbly and later on meeting her husband he was just as kind. They were extremely thorough asking us what we wanted them to focus on from decor to people, the type of vibe we wanted either sentimental or fun, what to bring and so many other questions we would have never thought of.
Day of the wedding they went to work and I had full trust in their vision! I actually forgot they were at the wedding in the best way.
When we saw our wedding film we were over the moon!! More then what we could have expected and it felt like we were transported back to that day all over again!! My mom couldn’t get over how well the quality was and kept saying it feels like we’re watching a reality tv show!
We watched the videos back to back for about 3 hours and went through every emotion. My dad had recently passed after the wedding so it was such an emotional but happy experience to see him so happy on such a special day. Amber and Brian could have went in any direction to make our video but they knew of dads passing and the highlight had so many clips of him which we will forever be thankful for. They also created another video of just him for me and mom to have. I honestly couldn’t thank them enough for not only capturing our wedding the way it was felt, listening to us, the organization and being so kind as a videographer team/couple. Definitely go with Memory Machine Films because this is exactly what they do for your event. They create films to rewatch forever out of what could have been just a memory..

Words cannot describe how amazed I am at the work Memory Machine Films did for our wedding. I'm so thankful for how detailed-oriented, organized and communicative Amber and Brian were during the entire process. They took the lead and captured the most beautiful moments between my husband and I, as well as our friends and family on our wedding day. Videography was a must for my wedding, and my expectations were completely surpassed. I have watched our highlight video probably 50 plus times at this point. Amber and Brian are true artists and their masterpiece will forever be something my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives! Thank you so much, Amber and Brian!

I didn’t want to spend money on a videographer but after being encouraged by family and friends I decided to book Amber and Brian at Memory Machine Films. Amber and Brian truly did an amazing job. At the wedding they were both so sweet and made us feel 100% comfortable with people we didn’t know recording our every move! After watching the video, my family and I were speechless. They captured everything perfectly. I felt transported back to that day, and I couldn’t help but cry out of joy and gratitude. The videos means everything to us. We are forever grateful for them and their amazing talent. We have pretty much watched it every day. They captured everything, even my husband voicing his love of my converse at the end which we felt was the perfect ending to our video! We love Memory Machine Films and will recommend them to everyone!!

Brian & Amber are not only the sweetest pair, they're so incredibly talented and made our video exactly what we wanted (and then some). When searching for a videographer, we were looking for someone who could capture our weirdness but also somehow make us seem like beautiful & elegant human beings, which is EXACTLY what they did. They work together so perfectly that every part of the process was seamless and they just got what we wanted and who we were without even barely knowing us. They worked really well with our other vendors and they were so much fun to be around. Even when they wanted to get a different shot than our photographer, they were so respectful of each other's time (and our time), so it was never awkward and we were never waiting around for anything. The end result was so beautiful and we'll truly cherish it forever.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Amber and Brian! We love our video so much that we have watched it over and over again. In fact, a year later he still watches it almost every night.
And it’s true what they say, the day goes by so fast you don’t always remember every piece of it. Amber and Brian bring that back for you and more!
The video itself has beautiful quality. I’ve been in the television industry for 14 years so I feel I have a pretty good eye for what makes a good filmmaker. Honestly, THEY MADE OUR WEDDING LOOK LIKE A DREAM! Don’t get me wrong, I loved everything about my wedding but it definitely had its challenges and nothing went the way we had planned. It rained, so our outdoor vineyard wedding turned into a tented freezing cold affair. I had a bad breakout on my face from stress. And there were definitely other little hiccups along the way including crazy speeches and guests gone rogue. You will see NONE of that in our video. They told the story of our wedding better than I even remembered it. They highlighted everything that was important to us. And made me feel beautiful!
They both have amazing personalities, which is so important because you spend lots of time with them on your wedding day.
Our experience with them was beyond amazing. They are everything you should look for in a videographer.

If you are looking for an incredible videographer team, look no further. Amber and Brian are absolutely amazing!! They filmed my brother & sister-in-law’s OC wedding and we were so impressed we flew them out to Maui to film our wedding. We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them! The video they create perfectly highlights your special day. They capture precious moments you may have missed or forgotten because you’re so caught up in the moment. Your wedding video is so important because it captures the love and emotion of your day. This is something you get to share with loved ones and look back at for years to come. Amber and Brian are super friendly, easy to work with and seriously make your dreams come true. They are genuinely interested in what is important to you and do everything they can to make it happen. You will be so happy you chose them to capture your special day ... I promise!

Brian and Amber are absolutely incredible videographers and people! Without a doubt we would book them again if we had to go back and plan our wedding all over. From the first conversation, we knew that we weren't just another wedding to them, they took the time to get to know us and also helped us think through the elements of a video that we cared about. They were so attentive and professional in every single pre-wedding call, which for anxious brides really meant a lot.
Flash forward to the day of the wedding and they did so much to not only capture the beautiful moments but also to calm our wedding day jitters. Amber is the ultimate hype girl. Let me tell you - she was wonderful through it all. From the simple "let me give you a trick to carry your train" to "let me run across the courtyard to get you a paloma," she honestly was the best. She really just tried to make the day so easy and great. Brian was so attentive to capturing all the key sounds and images from the wedding, he mentioned in an intro call that he went to school for sound, and he knew a lot, and we thought ok that's great, but what does that mean... let me tell you, it means he captured all the musical and speech elements perfectly. He was also so low key and stepped in to direct as needed, but wasn't too directive. Amber and Brian also worked with really well with our other vendors, especially photography, which we were so thankful for because this allowed them to capture really great images that were just natural.
Now this takes me to our video - I mean I sobbed like a little baby watching it. I remember one question Brian asked during the intro calls was if we wanted our voices on the video, and we both were like no it's ok... and the video starts with Amelia's voice, and we both pause, but little did I know that that they knew more about what we wanted in a video. Their video was incredible and captured all of the details of our wedding so perfectly. From the portion of the speeches they selected from each of our friends to our own speeches to the dances to the detail shots, it's like they knew what we would want to see and hear to remember our day. I can't recommend Brian and Amber enough. They make me want to have another wedding just to hire them!

Brian and Amber are such GEMS! So easy to work with and they fit right in with the vibe of our day! Contact was easy and they were so accessible throughout the planning process. Wedding Day they were on time and got the most amazing footage (some we had no idea until the day we saw our video). And the video... it was the best $$ we spent! My husband and I watch it over and over. So eloquently caught the feel of the day! And they were right on time with deliverables. Can't ask for much more!

A lot of people say that they never watch their wedding films again after they get them (my mom tried to convince me for so long that I didn’t need a videographer) but that’s probably because they didn’t hire Amber and Brian! My husband and I have already watched it at least 15 times and cry every time! Our highlight film is something that we will rewatch and cherish for years and years to come.
Amber and Brian did such an amazing job capturing the emotion, beauty, and details of our wedding day, I really feel like I’m transported back to it each time I watch. All of our friends and family who have seen the video agree that it is one of the best they’ve seen, and are so impressed with how artfully it was filmed and edited.
Amber and Brian have a true talent for capturing all the best (and in between) moments of such an important day. Their attention to detail is impeccable. I really appreciated our phone meetings prior to the big day, which was really helpful in figuring out what I really wanted highlighted in our wedding footage. They asked such thorough questions and really took the time to understand my priorities in our videography. My husband and I tend to be quite uncomfortable in front of cameras, but Amber and Brian directed us perfectly which put us at ease, made filming fun, and ultimately created incredible shots! It is clear that they really care about their work and their clients. When we had a few edit requests, they were so patient and really took the time to make those little changes that resulted in our perfect highlight film.
Thank you, Amber and Brian, for being so wonderful to work with and creating the wedding video of our dreams!!!

5 stars!! Amber and Brian are the sweetest, most professional, talented videographers ever! They orchestrated my wedding production in only 19 days. Now, I don't recommend waiting as long as I did, but they worked with me and executed their work flawlessly. My groom loved them as they quietly and invisibly worked around us while shooting our wedding. My family and guests loved being around them. Amber helped me get the shots I wanted, even lending her hand to help apply "fake blush" while "got ready". The final video they sent me will be treasured for the rest of my life.

From the moment I first contacted Amber and Brian, they made me feel so excited about having videography at our wedding! What’s more, their professionalism and attention to detail assured me I was making a good investment. They were super responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a couple of phone calls to discuss details, and they sent me a questionnaire to learn more about my style and what I wanted.
Throughout the whole process, Amber and Brian were so kind, friendly, professional, and efficient. On the wedding day, they made me and my husband feel so relaxed and comfortable, despite our nerves. They were amazing at telling us what to do and how to pose without it feeling forced or unnatural. We had so much fun filming the first look and the solo couple footage after the ceremony! They were also kind enough to stay for an extra hour after we realized we wanted more time, and also gave us a 30-minute cushion (ie. extra time and footage) for free. The actual video is stunning and such high-quality! Cinematic shots, crisp audio, personal touches, and good music. I’m so happy with it and it feels really special to have full footage of our entire ceremony and the toasts, too. I’d absolutely recommend Amber and Brian for your wedding videography. They’re total pros, super talented, and are just great people to spend your wedding day with. You won’t be disappointed!

Deciding whether or not to book Amber and Brian for your wedding? DO NOT hesitate. Book them ASAP! Not only are they such sweet souls but they are true artists. Videography was something very important to me from the beginning of my wedding planning process, I've watched millions of wedding videos (no joke). I found Amber and Brian and loved their style of videos right away. They will work with you and listen to exactly what you want. I am truly blown away by our film and have watched it about a hundred times since receiving it only 72 hours ago. I still cry every time I watch it :)

Amber and Brian were amazing and they’re so professional and detail oriented. We were very happy with the video and all the bits and pieces that we missed during our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. The video quality is high and the shots captured were way better than expected. Highly recommend these awesome people for their work.

Amber and Brian are the absolute BEST! Having them as the videographers at our wedding was the smartest investment we could've made, because the memories they provided us with are priceless. First of all, we didn't even think of how important it would be to choose people who you would enjoy hanging out with on your wedding day- but you spend a significant amount of time with them and they were so sweet and fun to be around all day- we feel like they're now friends! The highlight video they made for us really brings everything to life and brings us right back to our wedding day- they nailed the emotions and vibe of the day and it makes me cry every time. It is extremely high quality and professional! They put SO much time and care into their work and they so genuinely want to make it the best they can. When we had some edit requests, they went through all of the footage with me to find exactly what we were looking for and make sure it was perfect for us. I cannot recommend Memory Machine Films enough- you will not regret having them at your wedding!!

Memory Machine Films was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Amber and Brian were incredible to work with. They are so sweet and have such an eye for detail. I knew from my initial conversation with Amber that I needed them to be a part of our wedding day. They captured all of the little moments that made our day so special and the highlight video brings me to tears every time I watch it. And I can't stop watching it. I also LOVE that we got footage of the full ceremony, speeches/toasts and dances. It was important to me to have this footage and during my search for a videographer, I found that most didn't include this (or would at an additional cost for each - boo). Amber and Brian are the dream team. They are truly talented and their work really sparks emotion. Everything down to the music is perfect. We love being able to relive the day and these videos will be cherished by us forever!

Memory Machine is an awesome team. Amber and Brian are personable and were a pleasure to work with on the big day. Their vision for your videos has a cinematic quality. The videos they produced for us brought tears to the eyes of our family and friends, even those who weren't present for the event. I cannot quite express how wonderful and beautiful our highlight video was.

Amber and Brian were seriously so amazing. Their highlight video is something I continuously watch because it just shows the beauty of our wedding day. And honestly, their attention to detail is far beyond what I’ve seen before. From the moment you have a discussion with them before the wedding to working with you during the wedding and asking you how you’re doing and giving you assurances on everything, I am forever grateful for them. They definitely have the experience and know what they are doing. And having them there made our experience during the wedding so much better. Their attention to the video recording to the sound recording is so professional. And also, you seriously won’t be disappointed by what they put out for you. Brian and amber go above and beyond to make sure the videos that they produce are amazing. I am always recommending memory machine to my friends and raving about them. I am so thankful for them. I am able to relive my whole wedding day over and over again. My wife and I highly recommend them!

Amber and Brian were both so great! They had great communication which was awesome because we weren't in the same state up until a few days before the wedding. They take the time to find out what is important to you and make sure they capture those shots. Really glad we were able to work with them!

You will not regret your decision when you book Memory Machine films. They are not only great with communication (which made me totally at peace before the big day) but an awesome couple to have around on your wedding day. Amber was so calm and encouraging with me the entire day, which helped any stress or anxiety go away. I cannot stress how important it is to love the people you work with on your wedding day because it make a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. We were already excited to re-watch the entire day on film, but they totally exceeded our expectations. We got to see every moment and re-live the day in such a beautiful way, I don't know how they do it. We were crying watching if over and over again. They do their job in what seems to be such an effortless way but can really tell the story of your marriage in a cinematic film. They put so much love and care in to the film. We are so so thankful. Do not think twice about booking them, you will be so grateful that you did!! Thank you again Amber and Brian for giving us the best wedding gift.

Absolutely amazing.
My husband and I chose Amber and Brian from Memory Machine Films to be our videographers for our wedding this past November. We were absolutely stunned by their work in the past for other weddings, so we were so excited to hear that they were available to be our wedding videographers!
First off, we loved how down-to-earth and understanding Amber and Brian were. We spoke on the phone together a couple of times before meeting at our venue for a walkthrough, and even on the phone and through email, they were extremely kind and passionate about their craft.
They also really cared about making sure we didn't have to worry about anything in the whole process. They gave us a really detailed form that went over everything that we could possibly think of for the wedding film, from what shots we'd like, to details that we might have not considered in the timeline. Unfortunately the wedding coordinator we hired wasn't very organized, and they were definitely all over the place, but Amber and Brian were still very attentive and detail-oriented throughout the day, despite all of that! We were so impressed and thankful for them.
During the various phone calls and the actual venue walkthrough, we could really sense that Amber and Brian were really interested in how they could make our lives a bit easier with the entire wedding planning process, especially with the wedding video. Sometimes we didn't know what we wanted, and they'd guide us with their expertise.
On the actual day of the wedding, Amber and Brian came very, very early in the morning to make sure they didn't miss any shots. Throughout the first part of the day, especially during the first look, my husband and I felt extremely nervous and jittery, and they definitely sensed that we were feeling overwhelmed. They helped us a lot with relaxing, and suggested some poses we could do to make the shots look more natural! Seriously, they are true masters at what they do.
Throughout the ceremony, dinner/reception, etc., we seriously could not even tell that they were behind the scenes, shooting. I know that some videographers (even photographers) are extremely obtrusive and in-your-face the whole time, but seriously, we didn't even realize we were being filmed!
They delivered the film on time, and everything was just phenomenal. From the quality of work, to just how easy it was to work with them, we had such a wonderful experience! Thank you so much Amber and Brian, for the impeccable work you do, and for being the lovely human beings that you are. We love you guys, and we now have such an amazing wedding video to look back on for years and years to come.

Just initially meeting Memory Machine Films via phone, I already knew that Amber's bubbly personality was a perfect fit. Since I had a destination wedding, I met Amber and Brian on our wedding day, and they were AMAZING! Our wedding video came out perfect and better than we could have imagined. The colors, details of the venue/wedding day, music was all captured perfectly. They really took into consideration the type of music we would want and asked what we wanted or didn't want in the video. We didn't even need any edits! I received so many compliments and I love that they gave us 4 separate videos for the highlights, ceremony, first dance and toast. They are also very responsive so I never had any issues with contacting them. If you are debating on hiring Wedding Machine Films, definitely DO IT! They are a pleasure to work with and captured memories that will last forever.

If you are looking for a videographer, look no further because Amber and Brian are an absolute DREAM team to work with! By far my favorite team to work with when I was planning my wedding. We never met them in person until the day of our wedding but it felt like we knew them forever. They made the entire documenting wedding experience so mellow and easy for us and gave us highlight and wedding film that completely shattered our expectations. These two are extremely talented so please do yourself a favor and book them! You will not regret it.

I highly recommend Amber and Brian and Memory Machine Films! From our first contact, I knew we would love working with them. They listened to what we wanted, asked the right questions, and added amazing ideas we had not even thought of. They are so warm and lovely, so professional, knowledgeable and buttoned-up. They put us all at ease. As the bridal party got ready at the wedding, Amber and Brian's calm yet bubbly presence made everyone comfortable and open to being filmed. During the ceremony, they magically captured the event, remaining unobtrusive and respectful of the moment. As I waited to walk down the aisle, I was a little hidden away and unable to see the entire procession before me. Cut to a month later: I get to see it all on video! - my husband walking his mom down the aisle, then the bridal party entrance, my adorable flower girl…. I have such tears of love and gratitude. :) Thank you Amber and Brian!

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the beauty Amber and Brian created for us. I knew we wanted a videographer but this team exceeded my expectations. From day one, the communication was efficient, clear and professional (and kind!!) and they were always willing to be flexible with our needs. They made me feel very prepared and calm as a bride as the wedding day approached - there was no guessing or wondering of what to expect. Then the day came and I meeting them two was a joy! Amber became like another bridesmaid haha and it was seriously such a blessing to have her around me that day. They were so professional that day and made Cody and I feel SO COMFORTABLE and went above and beyond to capture all they could. We just received our film and I can’t stop watching it. And crying. It’s perfect and everything I ever dreamed of. We didn’t remember everything from our special day by Amber and Brian took care of that for us and made us a gift that is irreplaceable- something so close to me and my husbands heart that we now get to cherish forever. - in short - Memory Machine Films was the BEST choice we made and I would do it again 100 times. We are thankful from the bottom of our hearts. So if you’re looking for a videographer- needless to say, they’re a great choice ;)

Amber and Brian are amazing! I spent hours and hours looking for a videographer and I could not be happier with the beautiful job that they did! They are worth every penny and so much more! So much fun to work with on the day. The wedding party all loved working with them! Honestly just watch some of their videos and you will fall in love. They even stayed past the time they were suppose to so they could catch us all jumping in the pool at the end of the night. Highly recommend! They do a perfect job of catching every minute without you even realizing they are there. Love love love!

All we can say is WOW!!! Words cannot express how over the moon excited we are about how our wedding video turned out...Amber and Brian truly exceeded our expectations and I’m so happy that we chose them as our videographers. My husband and I got married at Casa Romantica in San Clemente, CA and did our first look at the Mission San Juan Capistrano and they captured all of the beauty and all the little details at both locations flawlessly.
They truly are masters at their art and I knew that from the research I had done on Vimeo of the the past wedding videos they shot at Casa. On top of that they are such kind, genuine people and such a pleasure to work with which is what you want for your big day.
We really couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and have gotten so much positive feedback from our friends and family who have seen the video.
If you are in search of a wedding videographer, look no further. Hiring Amber and Brian as our videographers was hands down the best investment in our wedding - they did a phenomenal job capturing the happiest day of our lives!

I remember debating about whether I should hire a videographer. My friend was ultimately the one who convinced me. She said she was thankful that she had video of people that are no longer with us and there are simply moments that can't be captured by photographs. Hiring Memory Machine Films was one of the best decision we made. I cried when I watched my video for the first time. Memory Machine Films couldn't have told our love story any better. Brian really listened to the details of what was most important to us. Somehow they even got my cat in, even though he kept running away! They captured the most important of moments and shot in 4k, while tapping into our wedding's sound system to give a crisp, clear sound. Their package came with a highlight video, our dances, speeches, and ceremony. What a great deal for everything that was provided.

Memory Machine was recommended by our wedding planner after our original videographer canceled on us a month out from our wedding. This ended up being the biggest blessing in disguise - Brian and Amber were amazing to work with, and when we received the final edit we were completely blown away by the quality of the film. Highly recommend!

Besides choosing my husband, Memory Machine Films was the best decision I made for my wedding. I am not only speaking as a bride, but as a wedding professional (owner of a wedding planning business). Some may say that videography is an added bonus but I disagree. The wedding will fly by - this incredible day that you spend countless hours planning and yes you may have some fabulous photos to look back on and of course beautiful memories but the video is like reliving the experience. That alone should show you important videography is. Now on to Amber and Brian....they are gems. They are passionate, creative and innovative. Their clearly true artists and you will see it from the music they choose to the scenes they highlight. As a husband and wife team they are the perfect concoction. I have already watched my video 50 times and I just received it a couple of days ago. Oh how special it is to relive each moment! I'd also like to say that as a bride and wedding planner I was extremely anxious on my wedding day. Hey, I mean not only was it my wedding but I had a reputation to uphold! Amber has a calm and warm demeanor that would put any bride at ease. Her naturally kind nature shines and its that sort of positive energy that makes any bride (even the most anxious) comfortable. Truly, they are not just incredible filmmakers/photographers but wonderful human beings who will capture your day to perfection. I just adore them and you will too!

Amber and Brian were such a pleasure to work with! They were our favorite vendors throughout the whole wedding process. We had a few phone conversations before our big day and they were beyond professional and made us feel very comfortable instantly. On our wedding day we hardly noticed they were there but they captured everything including all the little details. Our video turned out amazing!! Our wedding was so fun and filled with so much love and they captured that perfectly! The editing and the music they chose were done so well there is nothing I wanted to change. I have had the best feedback from the videos! After posting it on social media- all our friends and family have said this was the best video they've ever seen. And friends that didn't make it to the wedding said they felt like they were there! The video makes me smile and I am looking forward to watching it for years to come!!

To say we are happy with our wedding video is an absolute understatement - from the moment we spoke to Amber and Brian, we knew we had found our videographers and our expectations continued to be exceeded throughout the process. Amber and Brian are professional, responsive (even a year out from our wedding they responded to all of my emails), easy to work with and most importantly.....they are extremely attentive to detail and captured aspects of our wedding we didn't even get the chance to see and all those aspects we specifically wanted. They were both were calming forces during what can be a hectic day and made us feel at such ease during filming.
My husband and I were blown away by the end product and our wedding highlight film is by far the best memento from our wedding. I tear up every time I watch the video as I feel like I can relive all the important details that we will both cherish forever. We cannot thank them enough for being a part of our day. If you are looking for a wedding videographer, we recommend Memory Machine Films!
